I see what you all rented from blockbuster the most, but this was my #1 rental

MrCrazy · 1 month

This game had the chance of being the most rented thing from Blockbuster, but fate had other ideas...

A friends recommended this game to me, so it was rented and played to death.

I went back to try and get an extension on the game when it was due to be returned. Guy scans the case then says to me, "I'm sorry, this game doesn't belong to us. We don't have a record of it at all."

It's freaking unbelievable, but they check my account and it shows that I have nothing rented. The Blockbuster case for the game that clearly says "Rampage World Tour" as well as the "Property of Blockbuster" sticker is on the very cartridge. The game was rented from that very store too. I can still remember grabbing it off the shelf and the rental fee is on the credit card history.

I did the only logical thing - walk out of the Blockbuster with a slightly used, mildly dinged up, Rampage World Tour and kept it forever. Employee didn't even blink when I walked out with it. Almost encouraged me to do it.

No late charges were applied, I checked. Still have the game, might probably be time to play it again.

Both Final Fantasy II and Zelda: A Link to the Past. Until I finally owned them, I would always just play other people's save files. I had no idea what the stories were about, I just liked casting Quake and using all their items. :p

I was just a child. It was Thanksgiving which means that there was no school for a few days and that meant a rented video game. Just one, though. Upon browsing for about an hour the day before, I landed on this one to rent. Big monsters destroying buildings looked fun enough. I didn't have enough time to play it that night, but when I woke up that morning, it was the first thing I put in while my mom cooked the meal. Thus started my first experience with this amazing game. I played for hours, ate my meal quickly, and then played for hours more. I only regret that I never got to purchase it, but damn did I play the shit out of it.

Game was the tits. Blockbuster was a magical place when I was young. You would walk in on a Friday or Saturday night and it seemed like half the town was there picking out movies. You would see a lot of friends...it was almost a social experience. I really miss that.

This and Rampage 2, I rented for ages until I finally just bought the games. Still have rampage 2, and played through it about 4 times total. This brings back so many memories of my childhood and the other 30+ N64 games I had. Ahhhh the good old days....

I finally f*cking beat that game. 100 levels of the same thing can really start to mess with you after a while. I even figured out a special move. If you climb to the top of a building, jump and press and hold down+punch, it'll destroy an entire floor. Saved me hours of gameplay as most cities took about 30 seconds to destroy.

prezuiwf · 1 month

This was the perfect rental game too, because it was so repetitive you would be sick of it after 3 days and want to return it. Then a week or two later, you play it for 3 days all over again. Rinse, repeat.

Scipio33 · 1 month

Probably my best Blockbuster game rental was Kingdom Hearts. I was way into Nightmare Before Christmas at the time, and Jack Skelington was featured right on the back of the case. I eventually bought the game and it sequel and played the crap out of both of them. I'm still pissed that a true continuation of the series hasn't been released yet. The hope that it would release on the PS3 is pretty much the only reason that I bought one other than its blue-ray capability.

Dimestoresaint · 1 month

Blast corps was my most rented. Anyone remember that game? It was awesome. I want them to make another one. Would be an easy downloadable game to make. So much fun. I eventually bought it- still have it. Basically for people who don't know a truck is on the loose with a nuclear bomb on the back, You play as robots, trains, trucks, bulldozers, sports cars, and you have to drive around and get into different vehicles and use them to destroy buildings to clear a path for the nuke if it hits something it explodes and you lose

Ah the good old days of Blockbuster rentals.

I remember when my friend and I rented Ogre Battle for SNES. Asshole puts in some sort of cheat code to power level your characters and fight the last battle. All in all we technically beat the game in about 15 minutes. My mom would limit my game rentals to 2 a month if I kept my grades up. I was never so pissed off before during my childhood since I felt like I wasted one of my rentals.

P.S. My most rented game was this

HO-LY SHIT. I fucking loved that game as a kid. I remember one time when I was about 8, my dad and I sat down in front of the T.V and played that gave for 10 hours straight. I wanted to get to the last level because that game went on forever. We finally got to the last level; the moon. There were astronauts, mutants, aliens, rovers, and who knows what else. I was always Lizzie because I hate monkeys and loved lizards. We beat the last stage and there was this odd feeling I relief that we finished a game, but a sad pang that the bonding time between us was coming to an end. I think part of our semi-regular gaming marathon is why I'm going to study graphic design and animation. I think I'm going to go ask my dad if he wants to do that again sometime...

I never got to rent this game.

I saw it once available, grabbed it with my childhood friend, we both were excited.

Counted out my quarters, dimes, nickles. Oh no...

Four dollars short, even with my parent's card's discount.

Clerk said he'll hold it, we dash home, running full tilt four blocks, we were gunna get that game in less than thirty minuets at most!

Dive into the penny jar, carefully getting whatever short cuts with spare dimes and nickles... and soon we had enough. Run back to the blockbuster!

Politely wait for our turn in the line, ask for our game.

"Oh, I'm sorry. The lady just behind you when you left demanded the game when her son started making a fit about it. There wasn't anything I could do."

Heartbreak, slowly walk out of the store empty handed.

Never saw the game for rent ever again.

My friend and I used to take turns renting the only copy of Orcarina of Time from the local video rental shop. We didn't want anyone else playing over our save files, so we would alert the other before we returned it, or sometimes even go in together, so the other person could rent it immediately as we turned it in.

This went on for weeks, until we had both beaten it. We went in together for the last return, and the look on the cashiers face when we both left without it.
